Is playing "doctor" between two consenting minors illegal?

As kids grow up the two sexes are naturally curious about the other sex. So many will hide under beds, in closets, down by the near-by creek, and such to play doctor. Here they strip down and check out each other's parts...playing doctor.

If both kids are minors, say 10 yo, and they are consenting to play doctor, is playing doctor illegal? If so, who's the victim and who's the criminal? And what's the crime?

    Definitely not illegal as far as what you explained. Both are willing and neither was manipulated. No victim, no crime!

    It's not a legal matter. Just like adultery and 'fornication' are not legal matters. It's different if one of them is an adult.

    YES it is still very illegal

    Neither can legally consent. But if both are just playing around, no harm, no foul.
